Calculate Georgia overtime pay with current FLSA rules, Georgia's flat 5.19% income tax, 2026 federal brackets, SSA payroll taxes, and annualized take-home projections.
Georgia follows the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) for overtime, so covered non-exempt workers get time and a half (1.5×) for hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek. Georgia currently uses a flat 5.19% state income tax rate rather than a graduated bracket ladder.
This calculator estimates the full take-home effect of overtime by annualizing the selected pay period, applying the 2026 federal bracket system and standard deduction for the chosen filing status, then layering on Georgia's flat state income tax and employee payroll taxes. It is built for paycheck planning, not for filing a Georgia return.
Use the presets to load common overtime scenarios or enter your own rate and hours. The result updates instantly so you can compare how filing status and extra hours change your net pay.
Georgia overtime pay is simple at the clock but less simple on the paycheck. The extra hours push more income through federal brackets, Georgia's flat state tax, and payroll taxes, so annualizing the result gives a more realistic take-home estimate than looking at the gross hourly premium alone.
This calculator is built to show that full picture without manual bracket math. Use it to compare overtime scenarios, estimate annual take-home, and see how filing status changes the result.
Regular Pay = min(hours, 40) × Rate Overtime Pay = max(hours − 40, 0) × Rate × 1.5 Annual Gross = Pay Period Gross × Pay Periods Per Year Federal Tax = 2026 IRS brackets applied after the standard deduction Georgia Tax = max(Annual Gross − Georgia standard deduction, 0) × 5.19% Payroll Taxes = Social Security + Medicare + Additional Medicare when applicable Net Pay = Gross − Federal Tax − Georgia Tax − Payroll Taxes
Result: $914 weekly net pay / $47,514 annual net
At $22/hr for 48 hours, gross pay is $1,144. Annualized, that example produces roughly $4,959 of federal tax, $2,465 of Georgia tax, and $4,551 of payroll taxes for a take-home estimate of about $913.73 per week or $47,513.98 per year.
Georgia overtime is driven by federal FLSA rules: non-exempt workers get 1.5 times their regular rate after 40 hours in a workweek.
The estimate annualizes the selected pay period, then applies the 2026 federal bracket system, Georgia's flat 5.19% rate, and employee payroll taxes. That produces a more useful take-home estimate than a simple gross-pay figure.
Double-check filing status, because it changes both the federal standard deduction and the Georgia deduction used in the estimate. Also keep the pay frequency honest: a weekly, biweekly, or monthly view changes the annualized tax result even if the overtime premium stays the same.

This calculator starts with gross overtime pay at 1.5× the regular rate after 40 hours, annualizes the result using the selected pay frequency, and then applies the 2026 federal bracket system after the federal standard deduction for the chosen filing status. It estimates Georgia tax using the current 5.19% flat rate after the Georgia deduction for that filing status, then adds employee Social Security, Medicare, and Additional Medicare where applicable.
The output is a planning estimate, not a payroll dispute tool or a complete Georgia return. It does not model every credit, adjustment, or special payroll edge case, so the result should be treated as a clear estimate rather than a filing number.
Georgia follows federal FLSA overtime rules. Non-exempt employees must receive 1.5× their regular rate for all hours worked beyond 40 in a workweek.
Georgia uses a flat 5.19% state income tax rate. This calculator applies that flat rate after the selected Georgia deduction amount.
No. Overtime pay is taxed the same as regular income. The main difference is that the extra earnings can increase your annual tax exposure, especially once annualized.
Georgia does not impose city or county income taxes on wages, so the calculator only includes federal, Georgia, and payroll taxes.
Filing status affects the federal standard deduction and the Georgia deduction used in the estimate, which changes the take-home result even if the hourly rate stays the same.
Georgia's state minimum wage remains below the federal minimum, so the federal minimum of $7.25 applies in most covered jobs.
